How rare are limited edition Red Bull 1998 Sauber C17 prints signed by Jean Alesi and Peter Sauber?

Limited edition Red Bull 1998 Sauber C17 prints signed by Jean Alesi and Peter Sauber rank among the more unusual pieces of Formula One memorabilia from the late 1990s. The title keywords, Red Bull 1998 Sauber C17 prints, describe artwork linked with Sauber's 1998 Formula One season, a year that marked Red Bull's growing presence in Grand Prix racing long before it owned its own championship-winning team, as the Sauber C17 competed during the 1998 Formula One World Championship. Jean Alesi joined the Swiss team after several seasons with Ferrari and Benetton, partnering Johnny Herbert and Peter Sauber remained team principal and the driving force behind the independent Swiss outfit. The C17 used a Ferrari-based V10 engine, badged by Petronas, and the team finished sixth in the Constructors' Championship with 10 points under the scoring system used at the time. A print carrying original signatures from both Jean Alesi and Peter Sauber attracts interest from collectors who enjoy motorsport history rather than modern merchandise. Many signed prints were issued in small numbered editions, often limited to fewer than 500 copies and some editions contained only 250 or 300 prints, making complete examples much less common nearly three decades later. Condition plays a large part in rarity, as prints kept flat, away from direct sunlight, with clean margins and an undamaged certificate, appear far less often than pieces stored without protection.
